This time we speak with Shariful Hasan, who worked with the Ministry of Education in Bangladesh to develop a dashboard which brings together student assessment data, tracks it against national standards, and where it falls below average, uses insights from the data to recommend policy implementations.
We asked where they came from, what drew them to this work, the challenges they faced, and what they’d do next given more time and resources.
While you wait, you can read previous interviews in the series or find out more about the Ministry of Education AI Challenge, the six-country initiative to test what AI can do for education service delivery.
